How do I reinstate my DL if I didn't request a hearing through MVD at the time of suspension and my DWI case was dismissed?

I didn't request a hearing at the original time of suspension back in March because I wanted to see what I needed to do once I went to trial and found out what the consequences the court required were. After almost 8 months my case was dismissed in the court due to procedural mishandling of material evidence from the DA's office and the local police department. The legal limit for suspension of my DL has now expired and I was never convicted of DWI. I was never advised by the Public Defender's office to request a hearing with MVD during any part of this.

I was asked to voluntarily take a drug test by cps,at the time and now I'm not afraid to take it. Should I?

This happened because my wife was reported to God for looking drugged up,when cps came to my house,they did their interview with my wife. They asked her for a drug test,but before she could take it,she was arrested and placed in jail. Cps of course dug into why she was arrested and found out she tested positive for meth. She got arrested and tested by her probation officer. So they called me and asked me if i would volunteer for a drug test,I asked them why should I have to take one of the complaint wasn't made against me. They also want to drug test my two daughter's,which I told them I would have to sit down and discuss it with them. My daughter's refused,and I'm waiting on a call to set up a drug test. But after talking to a few friends and attorney,they all said I didn't have to take the test. I have nothing to hide,but I am on pain meds due to a back injury,I don't want or need them to pull some sneaky stuff and take my daughter's away,because I know they are like vultures circling and waiting for the carcass. Should I tell them to go f themselves or take the test? My girls are both honor roll students and have perfect attendance,great hygeine,and well liked at school.

Looks like you have your answer take it or not if they remove the children have that attorney defend you in Court.
